Description

Pisatin CAS NO 469-01-2 is a naturally occurring phytoalexin, a key secondary metabolite produced by pea plants in response to fungal infection or stress. This compound is of significant interest for its role as a model compound in plant pathology and biochemistry research, serving as a critical marker for studying plant defense mechanisms. It is primarily utilized by researchers and developers in the agricultural biotechnology, plant science, and pharmaceutical sectors for advanced studies in disease resistance, metabolic pathways, and bioactivity screening.

Application

• Plant Defense Research: As a benchmark phytoalexin for studying plant-pathogen interactions and induced systemic resistance.
• Biochemical Studies: Investigation of biosynthetic pathways and enzymatic activities in secondary metabolism.
• Bioactivity Screening: Evaluation of antifungal and antimicrobial properties in natural product research.
• Phytochemical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard in chromatography (HPLC, TLC) for quality control and method development.
• Agricultural Biotechnology: Research into enhancing crop disease resistance through genetic or elicitor-based approaches.
